MACHINE FOB. .ATTAGHING- LABELS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

Be it known thct I J. F. ZACHARIAS, of Leesbnrg, in the county of Loudonynnd State of Virginia, have invented certain new and nsefnl Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Attaching Lahelsj and I do hereby declare the'following to be n. full, clear, and exect description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- I ,Eignre '1 is an elevation of my improved machine with the side fr'ams removed.

Figure 2 is a front view. of the same, and Figure 3 is a view of the front pert of my machinelcoking from the underside. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing art-apparatus for attaching labels to newspapers, etc

which shall automatically cut the same from a. printed roll and paste them to the pnm'phletor other-Qarticle, thus efi'ecting a great saving in time and labor over other methods now in use.

To eneble others to make and nse'my inventiom'l will now proceed to describe its construction and bperetion.

the cross-piecepfithe frame A, and serves the' pnrpose of depressing said sliding-gate, which, by means of 0. projection, S, open it, engaging in the indentations a in the knife or entter'D, will force the same down, cutting 05' a slip from the paper roll; at the same time the lower part of movable or sliding-gate G will press it firmly against the article to'which it is to beattached. E is a coiled spring for drawing up the gate 0 to its normal position; E is a projecting plate secured to the upper part of gnte'G by means of set-screws 6. G is a lever hinged to the side frame of the apparatus, at c, and is kept pressed against the-movable gate 0 by means of' a spring, 1. Hits swingingsplate, eonnect'ed to the lever G by means of a red, .I. The plate -H-cnrries a pawl or pawls, e, which engage-with the ratchet-teeth on the roller L, and are kept in position by springs k. is a drnm aarrying the printed roll of paper t. From this drum the paper passes betweenthe rol1ers L and M,

where his caught by the endless bands N O passing over the rollers-Lfisnd M g, and thence carried to the potter 1).,- P inn), reservoir conteining'mnci-lage, end is divided into tw'ocompart-mentsby means, of a partition,

o, ts -,eugentgs being fed from thereer to the front compartment through the valve or gates k, as may be rn-distrihntes it on the'nnder side of the printed roll of peper as it is fed forward towards the cutter.

'G- engage 5.] S is'a coiled spring whichcauses the cutter to resume its normal position when pressure is removed from the handle T. e and m are rntchets and springs for preventing the roller L from I rotsting in the wrong di ection. 4 a

i I will now describe the operation: One end of the roll of paper beinginserted between the bends N and O,

Ijrhich pass-over' the rollersL f and Mg, is i'cd forward to the knife or cutter in the feli'dwing manner: The

plate F on the sliding-'gute'C being set by means of the screws b to feedthe required-length of paper, the handle .T'is pressed down; and said plate striking against the lever G will force the same back, moving the plate'H' through the intermediary of the connecting-rod I, as shown in red lines in fig. 1. The plate H in moving will il'htate the roller L by means of the pawls e, and it in turn will rotate the roller M, causing the endless bands passing overthese rollers to moveend 'carry the printed paper forward towards the cutter. The endless bend Ohein'g in frictional contact with the roller R, will cause it to-revolve and distribute the mucilage over said band, which will deliver it to the under aided the printed roll of paper. When the paper shall have reached the extreme end of the machine the next depression of the' handle will force out a length of the paper eslshall have been previously determined, and the t descending knife will out the same from the roll, allowing it to drop open the pamphlet orfother article to which .itis to be attached,- and against which it is firmly pressed by the.

lower part of themovable gate.

Having'tlms described my invention, what I claim as n'eWQ and desire to secure by Letters Patent oi the United States, ie-' In the drhwingi fl. is the frame of the apparntns supported by legs B, and is grooved at its front end to receive the-tongue's-onthe sides of the sliding-gate C. This gate is provided with a handle, T, passing throngh R is!) friction-roller which dips-in the reservoir and delivers the mncilage to the endless band 0, n

1. Knife D, provided with indenture'a, in combination with the gate 0, provided with the pin S, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The adjostabie projecting plate F, provided with set-screws b b, in combination with the lever G, link I, and swinging-plate H, as and for the purpose set forth. 7

3. The combination of rollers L'and M, bands N and O, and supply-roller R, arranged and operating in the manner substantially as shown and described and for the purpose set forth.
